One of the season’s biggest events meets one of the tour’s biggest personalities. We’d be kidding if we didn’t think this had a good chance of being one of the lasting images of 2019.
After a big drive off the tee on hole 13 at Winthrop Gold, Nikko Locastro really got his USDGC going with an albatross for the ages. Hanging his second shot well over the parking lot, Locastro used a big skip off the asphalt to attack the basket and was rewarded for the aggressive play. His celebration isn’t half bad either.
